LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is a leading online learning platform that helps people learn business, software, technology and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. Through the University of North Texas subscription, UNT students and employees have access to the LinkedIn Learning video library of engaging, top-quality courses taught by recognized industry experts.

LinkedIn Learning courses can be accessed from within Canvas and faculty are encouraged to incorporate these materials into their courses. For information on how to access the LinkedIn Learning website and login, the UIT Helpdesk has created a guide.
